Which of the subarus is the largest?
The largest Subaru today is the Ascent, a three-row SUV.
Since its introduction, the Ascent has stood out in Subaru’s lineup for its overall length and seating capacity. This article breaks down how the Ascent compares to other current models and what buyers should know when evaluating size and space across the brand’s range.
What defines the “largest” Subaru
In practice, “largest” usually refers to exterior length and the ability to accommodate more passengers. Among Subaru’s current offerings, the Ascent leads in length and can seat up to eight people with a three-row configuration, making it the go-to choice for families or those who regularly transport several passengers.
Here is a quick size comparison across key Subaru models:
- Ascent — about 196 inches long, three-row seating for up to eight passengers.
- Outback — about 191 inches long, two rows of seating with substantial cargo space.
- Legacy — about 193 inches long, five-seat sedan-like interior.
- Forester — about 182 inches long, five seats, strong overall cargo for a compact SUV.
- Crosstrek — about 176 inches long, five seats, subcompact SUV footprint.
In short, the Ascent is the largest Subaru by exterior length and seating capacity in the current lineup. Among two-row models, the Outback is the longest, but it cannot match the Ascent's three-row practicality.
Summary
For buyers prioritizing space, the Ascent is the largest Subaru, delivering three-row seating and the longest overall length in the brand’s catalog. If two-row configurations suit your needs better, the Outback offers the most length among them, but it remains smaller overall than the Ascent.
